Jorgos (George) Busianis (Γιώργος Μπουζιάνης, born November 8, 1885 in Athens ; † October 22, 1959 ibid; actually Georgios Bouzianis ) was a Greek expressionist painter .

Life

Busianis was born the son of a wine merchant. In 1906 he came to Munich on a private scholarship to continue his art education. He first studied at Walter Thor's private school , then from May 4, 1907 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich . There he met the somewhat younger Athens student colleague Giorgio de Chirico , with whom he also shared a studio at times. In 1909 he went to Berlin to see Max Liebermann . He then bought a house on Arcisstrasse, sold well and took part in exhibitions. The Ritthaler and Thannhauser galleries exhibit his pictures. From 1914 he was a member of the Munich Artists' Cooperative , later of the " Munich Secession ". In 1921 he moved with his wife and son from Munich to Eichenau, where he was able to build a small house on Zweigstrasse. A small artist colony had formed there and Busianis also drew friends like Joachim Ringelnatz to the outskirts to celebrate. From 1927 he was doing so badly economically that the family was at times dependent on public help.

His Leipzig gallery owner Heinrich Barchfeld financed a three-year study visit to Paris from 1929 onwards. When he returned to Eichenau in 1932, there was no future for him in Germany; under the National Socialists his art was listed as degenerate . In 1934 he followed a call to the art school in Athens . On arrival in Athens, the chair was surprisingly filled with another person. His wife still sold the house in Eichenau and came to Athens with their son. His son returned to Munich to study in 1936 and then moved to Eichenau. In 1950 he represented Greece at the Venice Biennale and in 1952 he was the first Greek to win the Guggenheim Prize. After his death, his house in Daphne in Attica was converted into a museum. Today his pictures hang in the National Gallery in Athens and in other museums in Greece and abroad. A square in Eichenau was named after him.

Works

Busianis never worked with contours, so he had to work all the more against the expression of color.

  • Several works in the archive of the Stadtsparkasse Fürstenfeldbruck
  • His son, who lived in Eichenau, gave the picture of Eichenau's teacher Hanns Weigl to the community on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the settlement in 2007.
